Gait velocity has been chosen by several authors as an indicator of overall functional ability [27-28], success as a community ambulator [29], or other morbidity or mortality metrics.
In this author's experience the SPPB can be useful in the skilled nursing and acute care setting for patients that are independent ambulators.
Based on the classification system by Perry et al (1995), this change in gait speed would have shifted this group from the 'least-limited' to the 'independent' community ambulator category.
